My daughter graduated from Alabama this spring, and I have finally gotten around to cleaning out papers, invoices, and receipts from her college days. I added up the total cost of her sorority over 4 years. This includes 1 year of living in. She had a housing scholarship, so we had no housing expenses for 3 years. but we felt it was important to live in house at least one year, which she enjoyed. She had sisters as roommates 2 years, but it's not the same experience.
So here is the total if anyone cares to know:
Dues $10100
meals $11800 (this is equivalent to univ meal plan)
housing $5600
purchase fund $1000 approx.
Grand total $28,500

The prices for meals did creep up over 4 years, but the other expenses remained steady from year to year.

And to think I did this at Alabama for two daughters ... I could have been driving a Mercedes.

Wow...and I thought my pledge class of 46 was big.

What time does everything start today?

That quota number is a bit high. With 2,250 girls evenly divided amongst 16 houses, the number would be 140, but that would mean no one dropped or got dropped. I would say a more realistic number would be around 105. Obviously, some houses will take more to ensure their pledge classes are filled out.

This is my daughter's first year as an active and I'm just as excited this year as I was last year - without all the stress! I can't wait to hear to hear where girls land and see pictures. All you moms will be able to relax soon!

As a matter of fact, according to the Crimson White newspaper a few days ago, the actual number of signups was 2,276; sounds like the 2,250ish number was the ballpark figure given out. Though I guess that doesn't affect the final quota number much.

My rec girl is still in the running. She didn't update me on her progress, but she did post this morning about her excitement for Bid Day. I'm curious to find out where she goes since I have privately made my predictions.

Other girl that I was to write a rec...who knows. She didn't contact me until after July 4th and then never called me back. GPA was low so it would surprise me if she wasn't dropped.

Thanks!
Nobody at the chapter is texting me back. Guess I'll have to wait until the bid lists are released at noon.
